I didn't drink daily either, but ohhh, the chaos, unmanageable, shame and self-loathing that resulted when I did drink certainly made my life unmanageable and painful. AA is not about how to stop drinking (if you don't believe me, look at the 12 steps. Only the first even mentions alcohol). It is about recovery. Changing our perspective and the way we deal with life without slipping back into instant gratification or escape to slap ineffective band-aids on our feelings of fear, resentment and the like. It's that recovery work that helps us to live life comfortably on life's terms, clear away the wreckage of the past and be the best self we can be.
